Here come the Men in Black! *clap clap* Oh, balls... now I have that Will Smith song stuck in my head. And so you do.

After years of discussion, Sony is pushing MEN IN BLACK 3 forward... although the question seems to be who'll wear the dark shades and tailored threads for the next round of E.T.-busting.

Writer Etan Cohen (TROPIC THUNDER) is at work on the script, presumably with the assumption that the same Earth protectors will suit up again. But there's no deal or offer yet for original stars Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, and director Barry Sonnenfeld, although the studio wants the new crackdown on alien scum to start shooting next year.

The hugely profitable first two flicks (over a billion bucks combined worldwide), based on a relatively obscure comic series, followed top secret government agents who police the immigrant extraterrestrial population and various otherworldly threats, usually with ridiculously large guns and lots of viscous goop.

Not worth doing if Tommy Lee and Will Smith don't come back, and I would like to see another Independance day with Goldblum and Smith!

2nd one sucked. I loved the first one, but I'm not sure there's enough to keep me interested in a 3rd. I'd rather see a Independence day sequel.

I'd be for this only if they basically scrapped everyone but Rip Torn and Tony Shalhoub (and Frank the Dog). I thought the first movie was almost as ingenius as "Ghostbusters," but the second film failed miserably. They wrapped up the J and K teamming long ago, and while K was my favorite, and Jones is as cool as they come, his new arc didn't work for me.

Maybe
I'm a huge fan of the first one and think that the second has it's moments. I'm on the fence for this one right now but if the two leads are back then I'll be there

Only movies I liked that starred Will Smith. Just make sure Tommy is back and it will be awesome. Maybe even bring back Patrick Warburton.

I love the first to death. It's one of my favorite comedies of all time, but the second blew so hard that I am scared of a third, plus that damned cartoon was terrible.

A Big Fat NO!
These were my two least favorite Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones movies. Just something about them annoyed the hell outta me. Maybe it was the villians too. Vincent D'Onofrio and Lara Flynn Boyle. They just irk me as actors. Maybe I'm just cranky today...

3D
This would be perfect in 3D. The memory erasing thing... have the screen go white and shoot light out through the audience. Also, the splatter of a shot alien. Sorry for my poorly worded ideas, haha, but you get the point!

Wow
I'm a huge Will Smith fan and I loved MIB 1. But 2 was meh, it's funny not too long ago me and some friends were talking about sequels for Mr. Smith and I would rather have a Bad Boys 3 then MIB3. I'll give it a chance though maybe it can turn out good? I don't see Will coming back though.

Sorry dood but Bad Boys 3? Now thats funny cause Bad Boys 2 sucked and the critics agree. MIB 2 as good as the 1st. Bad Boys 3, very bad taste in movies dood, unless your under 17 and watch Mtv Real World Road Rules Challenge, as well as My Boyfriends a tool, then I can understand where your coming from!
